so I bought this gun a month or so ago and it was shootin pretty decent but had a crappy scope so I've upgraded. had a cvlife 3-9x 56 which turned out to be a real turd. so bought a hammers 3-9x32 which has nice clear optics. I been chasing around with sighting and was getting decent groupings for a bit then the gun just fell off and was all over the place. checked all the stock and scope screws and all were good. just happen to see a very small crack in the steel where the break barrel is. it was around 3/8 long and right at the edge of where the two meet. how in the world that happened but am glad I found it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before and probly explains why the sudden change in accuracy. only guess is from the piston slamming or bad steel or both. lost my receipt but kept the packaging so I was fortunate enough to do an exchange for another at Walmart's. one good thing about buying local. wish I had the receipt as I would have bought something better. better to buy something once and cry once as they say
